Bart, Emcrsh is particularly suited for instances where you want to interface with LinuxCNC from non-Linux platforms or at least where you do not want to install other parts of LinuxCNC. It is a good option if you are prepared to write an interface from scratch. If your interface is to run on

Ben SDCC is terrible at generating PIC code. I can't speak for it in general, but I've never compiled more than the most trivial program without running into critical bugs in the output (like mis-setting the bank). The availability of an AVR GCC target is one of the reasons I

Bill, If you plan on using a Windows environment, then you can use Microchip's MPLAB PIC IDE and several different C compilers, all freeware. MPLABX is a new platform that is still a bit buggy, though usable. And it will run under Linux. I use the PICKit 3 to program PICs, no problem. I
